JinkoSolar, a global leader in the photovoltaic industry, has recently announced a strategic partnership with Climate Impact Corporation (CIC) to supply efficient components for Australia’s 10GW “Green Spring” off-grid hydrogen project. This collaboration will leverage JinkoSolar’s N-type TOPCon technology, which is known for its higher energy output per watt, all-weather performance, and overall energy generation gains. This advancement is expected to significantly reduce the project’s LCOE (Levelized Cost of Energy), helping to drive down the cost of green hydrogen below industry thresholds.
The modular green hydrogen technology developed by CIC is at the core of its flagship 10GW “Green Spring” project. JinkoSolar’s N-type TOPCon modules, with their ultra-high bifacial rates and superior energy output, will directly lower the cost per kilowatt-hour of the photovoltaic system. Their excellent low-light response and temperature coefficient advantages ensure stable operation of the hydrogen production equipment in complex environments, greatly increasing effective annual energy production and further reducing electricity costs. This cost competitiveness of the TOPCon technology was a key factor in CIC’s decision to partner with JinkoSolar.
Located in the Northern Territory of Australia, the “Green Spring” project aims to establish one of the largest green hydrogen production clusters in the Southern Hemisphere with a total capacity of 10GW. The deep collaboration between JinkoSolar and CIC aims to achieve an annual carbon reduction exceeding 10 million tons through a “photovoltaics + hydrogen” model, providing a template for zero-carbon transformation in global industrial decarbonization and assisting energy-intensive industries in their transition to carbon neutrality.
This innovative collaboration in renewable energy, through the deep integration of photovoltaic and hydrogen technologies, significantly optimizes energy utilization efficiency and enhances economic viability. Looking ahead, the results of the partnership between JinkoSolar and CIC are expected to be expanded to more regions worldwide, offering systematic solutions for grid peak shaving, energy storage integration, and clean energy consumption.
